According to the New York Daily News, our old friend J. Lo "has beefed up security in response to ugly threats on her life." Evidently, she's hired two off-duty police officers to protect her from an angry, note-writing activist who's been taking things a bit too far. Well, Jen, I’m not denying the effectiveness of rent-a-cops in protecting you from the occasional crazy old cat lady who sends you a strongly worded missive, but I think I may have another solution to your issues with overzealous animal lovers: Stop draping yourself head-to-toe in dead animals and flouncing around town like it’s a fashion statement. Just a thought. Some people find it offensive. Anyway, here's PETA's official statement on the topic.

Sounds like J.Lo is taking to heart this video on PETA.org of a model being bludgeoned to death for her fur coat. We believe that in a violent society, one proven way to get attention is to point out that no one wants to be bludgeoned. The point of the video is to promote empathy, to say 'what if YOU were bludgeoned for your coat?"Â Then you can see the animals' perspective. PETA believes all violence is wrong. J Lo needs to stop the real violence she promotes and subsidizes rather than give herself extra protection she doesn't need.

There you have it, Jennifer.

If J. Lo really has no current plans to give up her weird addiction to promoting the fur industry, she may want to seriously consider giving up promoting anything at all in public. Because this is just getting too easy. In the past year, PETA has protested the opening of her Pasadena restaurant, shouted her down at movie premieres, and showed up while she was giving a radio interview to get her reaction to some fur-farm footage we happened to have handy. And just this weekend, some PETA members posing as "glow girls" had some more input for her during the auditions for her new Glow After Dark reality show. Our friends at TMZ.com have the exclusive video:
